Line cutting order

Post by kenny46 »

Please refer to Section 8.06.6 Cut Order Control in this SCAL5 user manual:

If this doesn't address your question, please post a screenshot of your project and a zoomed in screenshot of the Layer Panel with your project ungrouped. Thanks!

Hi I have attached what you asked for and a zip containing the actual project for SCAL 5. What I am trying to do is dictate the path the cutter will take and not what the software tells me it will do. I do hope the reason for this will be come apparent when you see it.
Regards
Kenny

I have confirmed that there IS a bug in the cut order control as per the instructions I wrote in the user manual that did work correctly at one time. I'm testing on a Skycut cutter. Will you please post the brand and model of cutter you're using in case it's not true across all cutters that work with SCAL5. Thanks.

My cutter is a UKCutters HWF330 with ARMS. Many thanks for your assistance with my issue.

Okay thanks! I'll let the developer know about it but I have a feeling it's for all of the cutters. I can get the video simulation in the Cut Order Control window to cut in the order I want (Layer Panel) order but when I send it to my cutter, it cuts the default way.
